Race Fees

Waitlisting: - Races have pre-set limits per grade. Riders may be notified (via Entry Confirmation Email) they have been wailtisted once entries reach these limits. Waitlisted riders are generally still a good chance of a start after scratchings and rider re-grades. Riders not wanting to be considered for promotion from the waitlist should scratch.

Course-Specific Notices

Riders are reminded to avoid parking at the General Store whilst racing.

Parking at the CFA is strictly prohibited.

Parking on the roadside directly opposite the school is also discouraged.

Race Day Procedures

Disc Brakes: - Disc brakes have not been approved for racing in Australia and cannot be used until such approval is made.

No License, No Race: - riders need a current license (or proof of renewal) to race. CA licenses only.

New to Racing: - 3 Race Licenses are accepted. Please ensure you have organised this with a club or online via Cycling Australia prior to race day.

Red Light Policy: - The Northern Combine complies with Cycling Victoria's red light policy. Riders are required to have a rear red light on solid to race. Spare lights may be available at Rego to borrow for riders who forget (no guarantee).

On-the-day Entries: Sorry, on-the-day entries are not accepted.

Spectating: - It is requested that family & friends watch from roadside vantage points & do not follow bunches in vehicles.

When racing on a combined basis, women are free to race with any other riders within their race.

Equal prize money will be offered

The alignment of grades has also been altered this year as follows;

Women's Grade

Combine Grade

Women's A

C grade

Women's B

D grade

Women's C

E grade

Please note that we will support women wishing to race in a higher grade (eg WA with a preference to race standard Combine B or A grades). For those choosing to do this, they will compete for the standard podium on offer rather than a specific Women's podium.
